Hi all, just joined up. Im fromSouth Wales, and I am really keen to find my fathers old car. This exact car sparked my love of BMW and cars in general from a young age. Really keen to find the car and was wondering if anyone knows of it's whereabouts?

I spent every weekend cleaning, waxing, back to blacking, hoovering, polishing, etc etc this car and have a lot of happy family memories of it.

If anyone can help that would be great.

Reg is F794 SDE.

Zinnobar Red
2 Door
Grey cloth interior
14" alloys
Original Supplying dealer in 1989 was Green Bower.


Many thanks
